"The President Wore Pearls" Medley Songtext
von The Simpsons

And, we deserve a French teacher who actually speaks French
J′accuse Monsieur Kupferberg!
What is she yackin' about?
I rest my case

Nelson, rebuttal?
Yo everyone, it′s me, Nelson
Yay!
Nelson! Nelson! Nelson! Nelson

I'm not that cool, I don't wear jeans
I′ve polished an apple or two
But every grade that I grubbed, I grubbed it for you

So call me ′bookworm'
But I′ll never squirm when there's work to be done
Yes I′ll take my lunch at my desk
While you're all outside having fun


Don′t vote for me, kids of Springfield
Unless you want an effective leader
I'll talk to teachers, I'll handle Skinner
A vote for Lisa makes you the winner
Vote Lisa! Vote Lisa! Vote Lisa!

You wanted to see me?
Actually Lisa, I wanted you to see you
You′re our President now, but you look like the First Lady of ′yawn'
What would you change?

Eyes, pearls, smile, hair points
Dress, voice, shoes, swatch watch

I may be the new girl, but you can′t brainwash me
Just hush, posh, begosh me
And then leave me be
To fight for kid power
I must be heard not seen
I have to lead wisely, not just primp and preen

Nails, dimples, ears, scrunchie
Purse, lunchbox, teeth, Milhouse


This beaut-ing up suits me
There's beauty within me
So let′s Olsen twin me
Give them someone to love
This grownup make-over
Has made me a super tween
For they are my people
And I am their queen!

Oh Lisa, you look so successful
Like you're the wife of a businessman
I wish I had married a businessman
Then I′d have nice things

I'm so happy with my evil plan
Say goodbye to music, gym and art
Soon we will have the perfect school
Where fun and excitement never start

I'm so drunk I can barely see
But it helps me get through another day
My stomach is filled with haggis and hurt
I′ve got to go puke in some hay

Lisa is a fool
I think the rules are cool
I′m fallin' in the pool!

Mmm, not a cloud in the sky
A perfect day to unveil operation SLAAM
′So long athletics, art and music'
Care for a t-shirt?

T-shirt?
Why don′t you just give me a sandwich board that says 'male prostitute′?
Oh, well, forgive me sir

What have I done?
What they wanted you to
Skinner betrayed me
But a tango takes two

Skinner!
I don't mean to interrupt your advice from the janitor
But I say, cut off the head and the body will die
You want to get rid of Lisa? But she's such a good student
Yes, in fact I think she′s a little too good for this school

If we stand together, we are strong!
Hooray!
Lisa Simpson, you have just been transferred to the Springfield Magnet School for the Gifted and Troublesome
Please climb into the idling bus

But, but I
Poor Lisa! Poor Lisa!
Don′t cry for me, kids of Springfield
You can still reach me through email
